About the Backup Battery
A backup battery (lithium battery) is used to keep internal data (settings) from being lost, even when
the power cord is unplugged. Internal data will be lost when battery power is depleted, so it is recom-
mended that data be stored to an external data recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3
(→ page 24), or keep records of settings in memo form. The average battery life span is about 3
years. When replacement becomes necessary contact the music store where the unit was pur-
chased, or a qualified service representative, to perform the replacement.
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery by yourself.
• Keep the backup battery out of reach of children.
•“E5” appears in the display when the battery becomes depleted. Internal data may be lost.
• Data may be lost if the unit is improperly handled or if repairs are performed.
Precautions
• Avoid using the DG60FX-112 in the following locations to prevent possible damage:
• In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment.
• In extremely cold or hot locations.
• Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust.
• Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration.
• Before making any connections, make sure that the power is switched OFF on the DG60FX-112
and any external devices.
• To protect speakers from possible damage, always set the OUTPUT knob to “0” before switching
the power ON/OFF.
• When connecting a speaker to this unit, make sure that the power is switched OFF first.
• Do not apply excessive force to the switches, knobs and controls.
• The DG60FX-112 is a precision device. Handle it with care and avoid dropping or jarring it.
• Operating temperatures will rise during use. Make sure the DG60FX-112 is used in a well-venti-
lated are.
• For safety, always remove the power plug from the AC wall outlet if there is any danger of light-
ning striking in your area.
• Keep the DG60FX-112 away from neon signs or fluorescent lighting to prevent noise pickup.
• To prevent damage and possibly electrical shock, never open the case and tamper with the
internal circuitry.
• Never use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids for cleaning, as these chemicals may cause
damage or discoloration to the finish. Always use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

MD recorder, etc.
12
Using the DG60FX-112
First, connect a guitar to the DG60FX-112 and try some sounds.
■ Produce Sound
1. Before connecting, turn off the power on the
DG60FX-112 and connect a guitar to either the
LOW or HIGH INPUT jack.
High output guitars should be connected to the
jack labeled LOW while low output guitars should
be connected to the jack labeled HIGH.
2. After rotating the OUTPUT knob to the “0” posi-
tion, turn the POWER switch (POWER) to ON
( ).
Turning the POWER switch ON when the OUTPUT
knob is turned up may result in damage to devices
such as amplifier, speaker, headphone, etc., or
cause unexpected accidents like damage to your
hearing due to a high volume setting.
3. A 3-digit number such as “011” will appear on
the display.
Note: When the patch’s number is shown on the
display the device is in a condition called the
PLAY MODE. When in the PLAY MODE, it is
possible to select a patch and use the knobs
or buttons to change settings to play.
For now use this patch to try and produce some
sound.
4. Play a chord on the guitar and rotate the OUT-
PUT knob to the right to control the volume.
The numbers (Group number: 0, Bank number:
1, Patch number: 1) refer to the patch that is
currently selected.
* If the peak indicator continuously lights while playing the
guitar, the level of the guitar’s input signal is too high. Either
use the INPUT jack labeled LOW or reduce the guitar’s out-
put (volume).
13
■ Try Changing the Settings
Use the knobs or buttons on the panel to create your own original tone.
Using the DG60FX-112
• Continue rotating the knob in the previously de-
scribed direction and the patch’s data value
shown in the display as well as the [UP]/[DOWN]
lamp will stop flashing and indicate the actual
value corresponding to the knob’s position.
* After you stop moving the knob, the value will be displayed
for about 2 more seconds after which it will return to the
normal display.
* Even if only one setting value is changed, the [MANUAL]
lamp will flash to indicate that the patch’s data has changed.
When settings for all knobs (with the exception of OUT-
PUT) have changed, the [MANUAL] lamp will light.
• Once the knob is in an editable condition (in
which the setting’s value can be changed), turn-
ing the knob will result in the value shown in the
display changing in regards to the knob’s posi-
tion and a relative change in the tone.
The previously described rules apply to all knobs
except the OUTPUT knob.
●Change the Effect Setting
Try switching the each of the effect blocks ON/OFF
or try changing the effect. Also, try using the knobs
for each of the effects to change the character of
the effect.
The DG60FX-112’s effects section is divided into
the following 4 blocks,
• Compressor (COMP)
• Modulation (CHORUS/FLANGER/PHASER/
ROTARY/TREMOLO)
• Delay (DELAY/TAPE ECHO)
• Reverb (SPRING/HALL/PLATE)
• Press the corresponding button to select the ef-
fect you want to use (the lamp will light). How-
ever, only one effect per block can be used at a
time. Also, if a button that is lit (ON) is pressed,
the light will go off and the effect in that block will
be switched (OFF).
All knobs can be used to set the parameters of
the effect selected in the block.
* Refer to [Effect Functions and Parameters] (page 19) for more
information on each effect’s function or knob’s setting.
* The operation of each knob follows the same rules as the pre-
amplifier section.
●Try creating your own sound
Knob positions do not represent the current patch’s
value settings so the knob must be aligned with its
setting value (editable condition) in order to make
changes to the value. For this reason, the following
rules apply when a knob is moved.
•
Rotate a knob, if the [UP] lamp flashes, rotate the
knob to the right (toward 10). If the [DOWN] lamp
flashes, rotate the knob to the left (toward 0).
At this time, that patch’s data value (the value
set in the patch of the knob you are turning) will
flash on the display.
* As long as the value is flashing on the display, the tone and
value will not change when the knob is rotated.
The OUTPUT knob and MASTER knob
Either knob can be used to change the volume.
However, the MASTER knob setting is included with
the patch data while the OUTPUT knob setting is
not. Use the MASTER knob to set the volume of
each patch and use the OUTPUT knob to set the
volume as heard from the speaker.
The AMP SELECT switch functions in the same
manner. When the knob is rotated, the patch’s
selected amp type will flash on the display. Ro-
tate the knob to the position of the amp type
indicated in the display and then select an amp
type you want to use.

Using the DG60FX-112
When another patch is selected, any set-
tings you have altered will revert to their
original settings.
If you want to save those settings, please
use the Store operation described on page
17.
●Set the Speaker Simulator
When listening through a pair of headphones, or
connected directly via a line to a mixer or recorder,
the speaker simulator can be used to add the “live”
characteristics of a speaker to the tone output of
the DG60FX-112.
* The speaker simulator does have an effect on the sound pro-
duced by the main speaker. When the main speaker is used,
we recommend that the speaker simulator be switched OFF.
Press the [SP. SIM] button to turn the Speaker Simu-
lator ON (the lamp will light). Press the button again
to turn the Speaker Simulator OFF (light is off).
Also, the DG60FX-112 is equipped with 16 types of
speaker simulations. Try to find a simulation you like.
1. Simultaneously press the [SP. SIM] button and
the [UTILITY] button.
After “SP.S” appears in the display, the currently
selected simulation type will be displayed. The
four types of simulation are as follows.
• A42 : American Style 12-inch x4
• b42 : British Style 12-inch x4
• m42 : Modern 12-inch x4
• Y42 : YAMAHA 12-inch x4
• H42 : Hybrid 12-inch x4
• A22 : American Style 12-inch x2
• b22 : British Style 12-inch x2
• m22 : Modern 12-inch x2
• Y22 : YAMAHA 12-inch x2
• H22 : Hybrid 12-inch x2
• A12 : American Style 12-inch x1
• m12 : Modern 12-inch x1
• Y12 : YAMAHA 12-inch x1
• H12 : Hybrid 12-inch x1
• 410 : 10-inch x4
• 210 : 10-inch x2
2. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons to select the simu-
lator type.
3. Press the [UTILITY] button to return to the PLAY
mode.
* The speaker simulator’s setting is stored along with the patch
data. It is also possible to use Utility settings to turn the
speaker simulator ON or OFF independent of the patch data
settings (see page 27)
* If the MASTER volume or tone controls are set relatively high,
the sound may clip when the Speaker Simulator circuit is ac-
tivated. If so, slightly lower the MASTER volume level.

■ Try Selecting Another Patch
The DG60FX-112 holds a total of 180 patch pro-
grams (patch) in its internal memory.
The 180 patches are divided into two areas each
containing 10 groups, 3 banks and 3 patches.
• AREA
There are two areas, the USER AREA and the
PRESET AREA. When the Store operation is
used, data in the USER AREA (90 patches) can
be freely rewritten. You can change settings in
the PRESET AREA (90 patches) data but you
can not rewrite the contents to the PRESET
AREA memory.
When a PRESET AREA patch is selected, a dot
will appear to the lower right of the hundred’s
digit on the display (0.11-9.33) When the dot
is not lit (011-933), it indicates that a patch in
the USER AREA is selected.
* When the DG60FX-112 is shipped from the factory, the same
patch data as found in the PRESET AREA is used in the
USER AREA. Refer to the [Patch List] on the separate
“Patch List” sheet.
• GROUP
The 90 patches in each area are divided into 10
groups (0-9).
• BANK
Each group is divided into 3 banks (1-3).
• PATCH
Each bank contains 3 patches (1-3).
Try selecting some of the different patches and try
out some of the different sounds.
To select a different patch, use one of the three
methods described below.
●Using the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons on the
panel
• Each time the [UP] button is pressed, the next
greater patch number is selected.
011 → 012 → 013 → 021 → 022 →
023..033 → 111.....933 → 0.11 →
0.12.....9.33 → 011 (returns to the top)...
Every time the [DOWN] button is pressed, the
next lower patch number is selected.
• Press the [UP] button continuously increases the
group number by one (1).
011 → 111 → 211.....911 → 0.11 →
1.11 → 2.11.....9.11 → 011 (returns to
the top)...
Press the [DOWN] button continuously de-
creases the group number by one (1).
• Press the [UP] and [DOWN] button simulta-
neously to switch between the USER AREA ↔
PRESET AREA.

●Using the Foot Switch and the Bank
Switch
• Press a foot switch (1-3) to select the corre-
sponding patch number 1-3 in the currently se-
lected group/bank.
* If the Foot Switch’s function is set to “EFF” in the Utility
mode, it will not be possible to select a patch using the
Foot Switch. (See page 23)
• Press and hold the BANK switch until the dis-
play and the foot switch lamp flashes then re-
move your foot. In this condition, the following
procedure can be used.
* Even if the Foot Switch function is set to “EFF” in the
Utility Mode, this mode can be entered by stepping on the
BANK switch.
1. Hold Foot Switch 1 for more than one second to
switch between the USER AREA ↔ PRESET
AREA. When the area is changed, the Foot
Switch’s lamps will flash.
2. Hold Foot Switch 2 for more than one second to
decrease the group number by a value of one.
When the Group number is changed, the Foot
Switch’s lamps will flash.
3. Hold Foot Switch 3 for more than one second to
increase the group number by a value of one.
When the Group number is changed, the Foot
Switch’s lamps will flash.
4. Press a Foot Switch (1-3) to select the corre-
sponding bank number (1-3). The three lamps
above the Bank Switch will indicate which bank
number is selected.
5. When a BANK is selected, the lamp in the dis-
play and foot switch lamp will flash quickly. Press
a Foot Switch (1-3) at this time to select the cor-
responding patch number (1-3).
* To cancel the selected patch, press the BANK switch. It will
return to the previous condition.
Using the DG60FX-112
●Using MIDI Control
MIDI program change data transmitted from an ex-
ternal MIDI device such as the YAMAHA MIDI Foot
Controller MFC10, etc. can be used to select patches
in the DG60FX-112.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN jack on
the DG60FX-112 to the MIDI OUT jack on an
external MIDI device.
* Make sure to use a MIDI cable that conforms to the MIDI
standard. Also, limit the length of the MIDI cable to 15
meters. Use of a long cable may result in trouble such as
inferior performance of the device, etc.
2. Match the DG60FX-112’s MIDI receive channel
with the MIDI transmit channel on the external
MIDI device.
→ page 24 [Set the MIDI Receive Channel]
3. Create a Program Change Table*. (Factory de-
fault → Program Change No : Patch No. = 1:011,
2:012…128:4.12)
→ page 24 [Create a Program Change Table]
* This operation is used to assign patch numbers to a corre-
sponding program change number received from an exter-
nal device. For example, when the program change num-
ber “1” is received, the DG60FX-112’s patch number
“113” is recalled.
4. When program change data is transmitted from
an external MIDI device, the patch is selected
that corresponds to the program change table
you created.
* Refer to the owner’s manual for your external MIDI device
for instructions on how to transmit program change data.

(011-933). Try creating an original patch and then
store it.
●Storing Procedure
1. Press the [STORE] button.
When you enter the Store Mode, the display, the
[STORE] lamp and the foot switch lamp corre-
sponding to the patch number will flash.
2. Select the patch (group, bank, patch number) to
which you want to store the patch.
Use the same procedure as described in [Try
Selecting Another Patch] (page 15) to select a
patch. You can use the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons, the
foot switches and the BANK switch to select the
patch number. However, you cannot change the
AREA (it can only be assigned to the USER
AREA).
3. After select the patch you want to store your
patch in, hold the [STORE] button.
The store operation is complete when all lamps
light.
* Utility mode settings are not stored with patch data. As com-
mon settings for all patches, their contents are stored in the
DG60FX-112 memory.
* The OUTPUT knob’s setting is not stored with the patch data.
Use the MASTER knob to set differences in volume for situa-
tions like backing, soloing, etc.
* Data in the USER AREA (011-933) can be stored in an exter-
nal MIDI device. (→ page 24)
This procedure can be used to store original patches
and also used to rearrange the order of patches for
use during live performance.
■ Convenient Functions
Here are some convenient functions that you can
use with the DG60FX-112.
●Use Foot Switches 1-3 to Switch Ef-
fects ON/OFF

secondary parameters are changed.
●Using a Foot Pedal (Controller)
Connecting an optional foot controller (expression
pedal) such as the YAMAHA FC-7, etc., to the EXP.
PEDAL jack on the Foot Switch Unit lets you control
DG60FX-112’s volume, tone or effect parameters
(setting values) and use the device as a Wah pedal.
→ page 21 [External Control Settings]
●Controlling the DG60FX-112 from an
External MIDI Device
Using a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN jack on
the DG60FX-112 to the MIDI OUT jack on an exter-
nal MIDI device lets you control DG60FX-112’s vol-

dition, hold the buttons [UP] and [MANUAL] and turn
the Power ON ( ). The DG60FX-112 will then be
reset to its factory defaults and all data in the USER
AREA will be rewritten with data for the patches listed
in the Patch List (on the separate “Patch List” sheet).
When the DG60FX-112 is reset to its fac-
tory default condition, all data stored in
memory is erased. We recommend that any
important data be stored in an external
MIDI device or that notes be taken of the
settings.

Compressor
●Comp (Compressor)
Controlling the input signal (peak) this effect keeps
the maximum level constrained to the level set with
the knob.
• COMP knob
Rotate the knob to the right to increase the depth
of the compression.
When set to “0.0” it will have no effect.
Modulation Effects
There are five modulation effects, CHORUS,
FLANGER, PHASER, ROTARY and TREMOLO.
• The two knobs controlling modulation param-
eters are double duty knobs. As is, they control
speed and depth of the selected effect but hold-
ing the currently selected effect's button while
turning the knob can access a second function
for each knob.
• Secondary function parameters are also stored
with the patch’s data. When a patch is selected,
the secondary parameter settings that are stored
in the patch’s data will be assigned to the patch.
• When a different modulation effect is selected
from the modulation effect block, the previous
effect's settings will be used for the SPEED and
DEPTH knob’s individual parameter values.
Secondary parameter values are set to the value
most recently used for the selected effect. (Sec-
ondary parameter values are always stored in
the unit with individual effects.)
• To return the secondary parameter’s setting to
its factory default value, hold that effect’s button
until the five modulation effect lamps are lit.
●CHORUS
This is a typical chorus effect.
• SPEED knob
Sets the speed at which the pitch will vibrate.
• DEPTH knob
Sets the depth at which the pitch will vibrate.
• SPEED knob + [CHORUS]
Sets the delay time.
• DEPTH knob + [CHORUS]
Sets the mix level of the chorus effect.
Effect Functions and Parameters
●FLANGER
Creates a sound resembling a jet.
• SPEED knob
Sets the speed at which the pitch will vibrate.
• DEPTH knob
Sets the depth at which the pitch will vibrate.
• SPEED knob + [FLANGER]
Sets the delay time.
• DEPTH knob + [FLANGER]
Sets the feedback level.
●PHASER
This changes the cyclical phase to give the sound a
wave like motion.
• SPEED knob
Sets the speed at which the phase changes.
• DEPTH knob
Sets the depth of the phase.
• SPEED knob + [PHASER]
Sets the feedback level.
• DEPTH knob + [PHASER]
Sets the mix level of the phase effect.
●ROTARY (Rotary Speaker)
This effect simulates a two-way rotary speaker.
• SPEED knob
Sets the rotation speed of the low frequency
speaker.
• DEPTH knob
Sets the rotation speed of the high frequency
speaker.
• SPEED knob + [ROTARY]
Sets the angle at which the left and right micro-
phones are set in relation to the speaker. A set-
ting of “0” will produce a monaural sound while
a setting of “10.0” will produce a microphone
placement of 180 degrees.
• DEPTH knob + [ROTARY]
Sets the volume balance between the high fre-
quency speaker and low frequency speaker.
●TREMOLO
This effect changes the volume cyclically.
• SPEED knob
Sets the speed at which the volume changes.
• DEPTH knob
Sets the range in which the volume changes.
20
Effect Functions and Parameters
• SPEED knob + [TREMOLO]
Sets the phase difference between the left and
right sounds. From 0 degrees to 360 degrees
(0.0-10.0). Set to “5” the knob works like a ste-
reo pan pot.
• DEPTH knob + [TREMOLO]
Sets the wave shape of the tremolo. A setting of
“0.0” produces a triangular wave. Rotate the knob
to the right to change the shape to a trapezoid
with its sharpness increasing the more the knob
is turned.
Delay Effects
There are two effects, DELAY and TAPE ECHO.
●DELAY
This is a digital delay effect. The sound played will
be repeated after a determined pause.
• TIME knob
Sets the delay time (from the time or the original
sound to the time of the delay).
When the delay effect is used, it is possible
to set the TIME parameter (delay time) by tap-
ping on the BANK switch. Tap a few times on
the BANK switch in the tempo you want to
set the delay to. The interval in which the
switch was tapped will be set in the TIME pa-
rameter.
• FEEDBACK knob
Sets the number of times the effect will repeat.
* Too high of a setting may result in an uncontrolled oscilla-
tion of sound. Please use caution.
• LEVEL knob
Controls the volume of the source signal into the
Delay circuit.
* If the same Delay setting is switched from a patch using a
LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of “0”,
the remaining Delay will be leftover. Of course, the sound
of the new patch will not be affected by the delay.
●TAPE ECHO
A digital simulation that provides an realistic repro-
duction of the classic tape echo.
• TIME Knob
Sets the delay time (from the time of the original
sound to the time of the delay).
* Just as in the DELAY effect, tapping on the BANK switch
can set the TIME (Delay Time) parameter.
• FEEDBACK knob
Sets the number of times the effect will repeat.
* Too high of a setting may result in an uncontrolled oscilla-
tion of sound. Please use caution.
• LEVEL knob
Controls the volume of the source signal into the
Tape Echo circuit.
* If the same Tape Echo setting is switched from a patch us-
ing a LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of
“0”, the remaining Tape Echo will be leftover. Of course,
the sound of the new patch will not be affected by the Tape
Echo.
Reverb Effects
There are three types of digital reverb, SPRING,
HALL and PLATE.
●SPRING (Spring Reverb)
This effect simulates the spring reverb of a vintage
guitar amp.
• REVERB knob
Controls the volume of the source signal into the
Reverb circuit.
●HALL (Hall Reverb)
This effect simulates the reverb of a hall.
• REVERB knob
Controls the volume of the source signal into the
Reverb circuit.
●PLATE (Plate Reverb)
This effect simulates the reverb of a metal plate.
• REVERB knob
Controls the volume of the source signal into the
Reverb circuit.
* If the same Reverb type is switched from a patch using a
LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of “0”,
the remaining Reverb will be leftover. Of course, the sound
of the new patch will not be affected by the Reverb.
